Pregnancy.. Blood thinners?

Question

Three years ago I got blood clots in my lungs (pulmonary embolism) from birth control. I had to give myself blood thinner shots every day for six months. Now I'm not allowed to have any hormones, artificial or not. Has anyone else had this problem? If so.. If you have gotten pregnant, did the doctors make you do the blood thinner for your whole pregnancy? They told me I would have to but I'm hoping not.. I hate giving myself a shot every day.

Answer

i got a PE from pregnancy and have been on blood thinners since october. i am on a pill form though and i am quite sick of getting my INR tested every week. ??

Answer

I have a genetic condition that causes blood clots and will have to take blood thinners after I give birth. My sister had to take during pregnancy because she had a pulmonary embolism after giving birth to my nephew.

Answer

My cousin had this problem (she didn't get it from birth control but has a genetic disposition) she did have multiple miscarriages due to it, however, she is currently pregnant with baby #9 - they have 8 girls and are hoping for a boy!
